APGov - In Class Assignment for Tues/Wed

Hi gang!  I miss you guys, but I've had my new daughter, Julia, to keep me busy!

There are a few assignments that you need to complete by the end of class Tuesday or Wednesday:

1.  Finish watching "Can Mr. Smith Go To Washington Anymore?" and complete the accompanying worksheet.  Be sure to turn it in to the substitute, Mr. Taylor.

2.  Read this article about what happened to Jeff Smith in the years after the election.  Take your time with it, there's plenty to absorb and you'll probably be surprised by some of the content.

3.  Complete this survey before the end of class.  You'll need to consider the content of the film and the article linked in #2 to answer the questions.

4.  You can used the remainder of class to use the iPads how you wish.  However, I will award double participation points to anyone who posts a short summary of a current events story - along with a link to that story - in the comments section of this blog post.  You'll have to be signed in with your Google account to post a comment.  You can use cut-and-paste to insert the link (if you don't know how to do this, ask a classmate).  IF YOU DON'T ALWAYS PARTICIPATE IN CLASS, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY.

5.  Please return iPads to the iPad cart by 5 minutes to go in the period.  Please plug in the iPads so they may charge.

Thanks and see you Thursday!

Mr. McCarthy
